MOTOMART CASE STUDY

Step 1 First, using Tables 3–5,note the pattern of operating profits (or losses) over the five-year period. Then focus only on the semi-fixed expenses contained in Table 3. Do any amounts appear to be odd? Next, briefly comment on the five-year pattern or trend for operating profit/loss measures. You should be able to respond to this step in a few wellwritten sentences. Step 2 Focus onlyon the detailed semi-fixed expense contained in Table 4. Are there any unusual or odd patterns you might note in this detailed financial data? There are eight expense items. About five of the eight should immediately catch your attention. You should be able to respond to this requirement in a few well-written sentences. Briefly comment on only the most obvious or apparent measures or patterns, by expense item. Step 3 Identify the high and low measures in each column, just as you would in preparation for application of the high-low method or technique. For example, in Table 4the high measure for the cost driver (NRVS) is 280 NRVS in month 13 and the low measure is 31 NRVS in month 12. Repeat this process for each of the eight separate semi-fixed expense columns and also for the total expense column. (You could transfer the figures to Excel to use the maximum and minimum functions to assist you in identifying the high and low measures [N=60] for each of the ten columns.)

 

Discussion Unit 6

As you have learned, stating the facts is the first step in analyzing a legal issue. This is a very important step because the facts must bear relevance to the issue. Remember that the analysis will be based on the facts, and the facts will lead you to the answer of the legal problem.

For this week’s Discussion, read Assignment 14 on pages 529–530 in Chapter 17 of the textbook. What facts are important and what is the issue? Remember that the facts of a case should relate to the issue as they will eventually be the basis for your analysis and conclusion once you apply the rule of law. Also, the issue should be narrow and presented in the form of a question.

Assignment 2: Case Study

Assignment Type Weighting Word Count Date Due

Case Study 50%  2000 words Week 11  

Purpose: 

The purpose of this case study is to integrate the understanding of two developmental theories with a practical example. Within this integration is an identification, analysis and evaluation of major life themes with the inclusion of strengths and challenges faced by a fictional character. 

Process:

Select a character presented in a book, television or film at a major life transition (leaving home, wedding, parenthood, retirement) and briefly summarise the context in which the character becomes known.  Write a case study that summarises the major life themes identified in the book, television or film, and apply theories of development to analyse the life stage, the strengths and challenges  faced by the character, using two developmental theories presented in this unit (other than those applied in Assignment 1. Please also refer to the list of Developmental Theorists in Assignment 1 when choosing the two developmental theories for this assignment). Draw on a range of unit and other relevant references.

Your Case Study will need to address:  Case study written and is inclusive of the naming of major life themes in the chosen source  Identification of the chosen character with a brief summary of the context in which the character is introduced  Identification of key aspects of each of the two major developmental theories and application of these theories to an analysis of the life stages of the character, including the strengths and challenges faced by the character  Reference to current literature and integration of relevant theory into your discussion

Information about the writing of Case Studies

A case study:  should provide a description of a particular subject such as a practice, problem, scenario or situation  is often based on a person or organisation  provides an opportunity to demonstrate your ability to apply theory to practice  should critically analyse, evaluate or review the subject using the relevant theory  may be given to you in the assignment question, or you may need to develop your own case scenario

Reservoir Compartmentalization by Using Geochemical analysis

1. Topic: Reservoir Compartmentalization Assessment by Using Geochemical analysis
2. Define the background to the problem you are tackling; preferably state a question or hypothesis of some sort.
o Problem: Reservoir compartmentalization: refers to the presence of fluid flow barriers between two fluid sampling points.
o Significant variation of fluid type in the field: the oils in the field are mainly waxy black oils ranging between 20 and 31°API gravity. 
o Question or hypothesis: Example:
 How to detect reservoir compartmentalization using geochemical analysis?
 Why is there a significant variation of fluid types in different compartments?
 Are the oils in the same continuous reservoir or do they belong to separate reservoir compartments?
 How do the findings from the Jawdah field reservoir compartmentalization assessment impact reservoir exploration globally?
3. Explain the relevance and importance of what you intend to do; explain why anyone should actually care about the work you are planning to do. Justify the work you are planning to do. Do not simply assume that the reader considers your work to be important; persuade them that it is important.
o Example: As the production of oil becomes more expensive, the importance of developing advanced techniques to minimize uncertainties during extraction of hydrocarbon is vital. Analysing the faults and fluid behaviour within a single reservoir is also essential during appraisal and production phases, as faults can have a significant impact in developing a field, whereby the fluid quality play a key role in the production rate. However, faults can cause reservoir compartmentalization in a field, which be challenging to detect with limited data and analysis. The oil industry around the globe are currently investigating best approaches in predicting and identifying the implication of reservoir compartmentalization on fluid flow all over the field lifetime.

4. Define what you actually intend to do (give the work-plan) to solve the problem.
o The materials used in this research include 24 oil samples of around 10 ml from the Gharif and Al Khlata formations in the Jawdah field.
o 3 geochemical analysis will be used to interpret the 24 oil samples
 SARA analysis :(saturates, aromatics, resins, asphaltenes)
 Reservoir oil fingerprinting (ROF): is a combination of analytical and interpretive techniques that utilizes the "fingerprint" of oils to determine whether they are part of the same reservoir compartment.
 Biomarker analysis
o Two software’s will be utilized to interpret the generated data from the given 3 techniques.
 Xcalibur software
 Petrel software

5. Explain the type of results that you will produce.
o Whole-oil Gas chromatographic 
o Whole oil bulk composition
o Oil Chemical composition
o Whole Oil Carbon Isotope Analysis 
o Concertation of saturates, aromatics, resins and asphaltenes and plots illustrating ( saturated hydrocarbons vs aromatic hydrocarbons)
o Biodegradation rate
6. Explain how you will interpret the results.
o By integrating the newly generated data in order to understand and validate reservoir compartmentalization in Jawdah field using the following outcomes:
 Gas chromatography measurements on whole oils will be utilized for quantifying major saturated and aromatic compounds.
 Oil type (origin of the oil)
 Charge history
 Source-oil correlation
 Hydrocarbon thermal maturity
 Biodegradation
o Principle component analysis (PCA) will be used to screen peak height ratios, for the use in the oil correlations and to identify groups of similar oils.
o Comparing the data with 4 PVT reports from 4 wells across the Jawdah field.
7. Explain what training will be required.
o Example: Reservoir compartmentalization is consequently a key ambiguity that must be precisely measured throughout the assessment of oil reservoirs in the mandate to circumvent unanticipated compartmentalization at the fluid production stage. The training is mandatory for the capability to rationalize, visualize and describe the variety of fluid composition across the field willingness to advance the understanding of reservoir compartmentalization. Hence, training for analyzing data from biomarkers and oil fingerprinting is needed to provide an additional positive outlook of reservoir connectivity.
